Calipari is not, nor has he ever been accused or "caught", cheating. He himself turned in one of his players (Camby) for dealing with an agent to get one Final Four overturned. The other is all on the NCAA and Rose. (IF Rose cheated.)

Re: UK Basketball DY9ASTY Edition

The 2014 UK commit is playing for the World Team, and during warm-ups today, hit 17 of 24 threes from behind the NBA three-point line. He also measured 7í0″ tall with a ridiculous 7í3.5″ inch wingspan.
Oh yeah, heíll be playing alongside Andrew Wiggins all week, who is also his roommate. Canít hurt.

Re: UK Basketball DY9ASTY Edition

Is UK basketball the second most discussed sports team in the history of RedsZone? Nothing else seems to be even a close runner-up.

Probably. Either UK or Bengals, pretty sure UK has more views and posts per year, however.

Re: UK Basketball DY9ASTY Edition

as a Dayton grad/fan, stating my desire for my flyers to "not" be preseason #1 is a problem I'm never going to face. Nice problem to have though, it continues to amaze me the level of recruiting that Cal is pulling off.

Though I come from a family of KY natives and UK fans/alum, the Dayton Flyers gave me some of my earliest basketball memories. After my dad's military service ended, he took a job at Frigidaire in Dayton, OH, in 1966. My first TV games were Flyer games with Don May starring. My first college basketball game in person was at UD Arena during the Donald Smith years. To this day I'll never forget walking through the doors and looking down into that giant arena.

It was around that time we moved back to our family origins in Lexington, but I'll always have a secondary love for the Dayton Flyers. I still root for them unless they're playing UK. They've only played each other once in my adult years. They played in Cincinnati in 1999, with UD winning 68-66. Grrr

Brooks Hall over Tyshon Prince from the corner in US Barn arena to send the flyers home a winner, just in case the national titles have washed your memory of the game

Good story; my father was at UD in the late 60s/early 70s and I've heard more stories of Don May than I can remember. There are rumors that UD has plans to build a new arena, about 18,000 in capacity on the fairground site if/when the Big East comes calling for them to join. It probably would pehoove my flyers to start finishing higher than mid-level in the A10 on a regular basis if they want to realize that dream.

At any rate, back to your regularly scheduled UK discussion, pardon my interuption.

In news across the state, Russdiculous is coming back for Louisville next season, which should make Louisville a top 3 team losing only Dieng and Siva.

December 28th is going to be nuts. Cal vs Pitino, basically the same Louisville team as last season going up against the best recruiting class in history, all in Rupp Arena. And this is even if Wiggins doesn't commit.
